Orthodontics for children in Valencia

A child's smile can light up the world. And at Albert y Barber we know that, in order to take care of it, we must act in time. That is why we offer orthodontic treatments for children in Valencia that not only correct the position of the teeth, but also prevent future oral health problems.

With a human, close and highly specialized approach, we approach orthodontic treatments in children from an early age to ensure proper development of the jaw bones, gums and teeth.

Orthodontic treatment for children and adolescents

In our clinic, we treat each little patient individually. We know that not all children have the same needs, so we offer different solutions within pediatric dentistry specializing in orthodontics:

Interceptive orthodontics

Interceptive orthodontics is a type of early treatment that is applied when children are still growing. Its objective is to prevent and correct bite problems, modifying the bone development of the jaws, lack of space for permanent teeth or bad oral habits such as thumb sucking or mouth breathing.

With removable or fixed braces - even with invisible orthodontic options - we can guide jaw development, improve dental alignment and avoid more complex treatments in adulthood.

When to start orthodontic treatment for children?

The ideal age to visit a pediatric orthodontist is around 6 years old, when the first permanent teeth begin to erupt. At this stage we can detect early alterations in the bite, lack of space or deviations in mandibular growth.

The sooner we act, the more effective and less invasive the solution will be.
